Beef Kafta Kabobs

Step 1

Place ground beef in a large bowl.

Step 2

Add onion, garlic and parsley to a food processor and process until very finely minced scraping down sides as needed. Mixture should almost start to liquefy (just past the point of a very fine mince).

Step 3

Transfer the onion mixture to the bowl with the beef and add all the spices.

Step 4

Mix well using clean hands until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes while you preheat the grill.

Step 5

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium high heat (450-500°F) and lightly grease the grates with a high smoke point oil like avocado oil.

Step 6

Remove the beef mixture from the refrigerator and form the beef into an oblong shape on skewers (*see note). Using 6 to 8 skewers, repeat until beef mixture is used up.

Step 7

Carefully place each skewer on the preheated and greased grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes.

Step 8

Gently flip skewers when meat pulls away from the grates easily and grill marks have formed on the bottom. Grill on the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Step 9

Transfer the kabobs to a plate and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Pour any accumulated juices over the kabobs when serving and enjoy with your favorite sides.
